Zigbee implementation in railroad model

Control over cable or wireless network gains popularity over last decade. Low cost alternatives like ZigBee were developed as a substitute for specialized industrial networks. ZigBee is one of the most popular wireless networks in control today, because of its properties. We have used ZigBee wireless network to control speed and other elements of model railroad produced by Tillig. We have used m-files and Simulink environment for construction of ZigBee’s communication packets. This model can be beneficial in teaching process.
